This is a spin-off of a webcompat issue https://webcompat.com/issues/6603 Firefox will not break after the hyphen-minus while Chrome and Safari do. test case here https://codepen.io/webcompat/pen/YareqB
[Original bug title was misleading: the example shown has the hyphen-minus between two digits, not "immediately followed by a letter".] Currently, Gecko deliberately does not break in a sequence <digit, hyphen-minus, digit>: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/003262ae12ce937950ffb8d3b0fa520d1cc38bff/intl/lwbrk/LineBreaker.cpp#793-794 Changing this could have pretty widespread implications; it's not immediately clear to me whether on balance it would be an improvement or not.
Summary: Allow line-break after - (U+002D / hyphen-minus) when immediately followed by letter. → Allow line-break after - (U+002D / hyphen-minus) between digits.
Jonathan, yup. Reporting for recording the difference, not necessary to create a change in the meantime, and given this is one site only I don't think it is a priority. Thanks for fixing the title.

The layouts of the websites hitting this issue have changed, and no longer seem to have the issue. Let's drop the webcompat flag for now.

[Original bug title was misleading: the example shown has the hyphen-minus
between two digits, not "immediately followed by a letter".]

Currently, Gecko deliberately does not break in a sequence <digit,
hyphen-minus, digit>:

Given that^, it looks like this is a dupe of earlier bug 1322115 ("line-breaking in <digit><hyphen><digit> sequences")
